TAXAND Sends Letter to Government Demanding Payments for Work they claim to have Completed on St. Maarten.

Philipsburg:--- The principles of TAXAND UK sent an official letter to the government of St. Maarten last week demanding the last two payments that were put on hold by Minister if Finance Roland Tuitt. According to the figures provided to Parliament last week by the Finance Minister, the Government of St. Maarten has to pay TAXAND 5.5 million guilders. Minister Tuitt told the Members of Parliament that he already received legal advice on how to handle the matter and that he was waiting on SOAB for some financial information regarding the cost of a judicial inquiry into the TAXAND contract and payments. The Minister also said that he instructed TAXAND to put on hold all other works they agreed to do for St. Maarten pending the outcome of the investigation.
It should be noted that while six of the seven members of the former Council of Ministers under the UP/DP Government voted in favor of awarding the contract to TAXAND without any form of bidding, there was no official, signed agreement between TAXAND and the Government of St. Maarten. However, the previous Minister of Finance Hiro Shigemoto, the brainchild of TAXAND contract made at least two payments to TAXAND without a signed decree from the Governor of St. Maarten.
In an invited comment about the letter from TAXAND regarding the payments, Minister Tuitt confirmed receipt of the letter. He further explained that the lawyers for Government are busy working on a response for the company while he intends to release more information on the TAXAND scandal on Wednesday during the Council of Ministers' press briefing.
